ASUS RoG Maximus Gene - AIO compatibility

noxidjkram@hotm · 9 Nov 2019 at 10:53

Looking for info on AIO options for ASUS RoG Maximus Gene mATX with 9900k. It's quite tight for RAM clearance.

Struggling to find anything online that lists compatibility - currently using a Raijintek Orcus 360, but it has a noisy pump - want to replace it before it fails.

Does anyone know if the ASUS AIO's will fit?

TIA,

M

I would be surprised if they were on a compatibility list because the bit you attach to the motherboard is smaller than a stock cooler. For all AIOs.

The huge air coolers sometimes need to be specified because they're huge and can genuinely foul ram.

On the other hand you sometimes need to know AIO compatibility with a case on account of needing enough/close enough fan spots to put the radiator.

The Raijintek only just fits - RAM is actually pushed slightly on an angle. That's why I'm seeking some assurance before I spend a couple of hundred on a decent replacement.

Eventually found a website that listed the ASUS AIO360 as compatible. Went for it.

Cheers,
